Greetings. I saw you responded to me on the Negotiations to end apartheid in South Africa talk page. I got curious, and I am wondering if you are a South African? I am an American, and my understandings of South African culture, politics, and racial discourse, are limited to the small amount of mini docos I've seen and articles I've read on it, and to movies I've seen that dramatize certain things and may not be entirely accurate (such as Invictus, Endgame, etc.).

I'd be interested to get an insider's take on the transition from Apartheid and the current state of racial discourse. Often I get the impression that present-day South Africa is worlds better than apartheid South Africa, but I have also seen in some mini docos, interviews, and internet commentary, that some people feel that South Africa is somewhat in a state of reverse discrimination, rather than a state of balance. For example, I have heard some things about hiring quotas and white South Africans having a difficulty competing for jobs as public servants/government workers, and so on.

If you are indeed South African and would like to share your views, I'd be happy to hear them. You could respond here on your talk page or if you prefer to do so in private, you can send me an email here. I exchange emails with a few users I know on Wikipedia, so I have no problem respecting the privacy of your email address and so forth.

If your question has been answered i suggest you remove your question from the talk page Malithyapa (talk) 01:28, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Severino: Regarding my proposed change, namely noting that Beit-Hallahmi is a psychologist and was not trained as a historian, and that his views are controversial, you replied that I didn't provide any source. Quite to the contrary, I included this reference: url=http://www.meforum.org/87/israels-academic-extremists There are many others. Nor would Beit-Hallahmi deny that he is controversial. Without placing him in his proper context, the reader may infer that he is a trained Middle East expert with a NPOV of his own. Zozoulia (talk) 13:41, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are right that there was a source included, but Pipes' "Meforum" is hardly a reliable one and the characterization of Beit Hallahmi the way you did, was definitely not neutral (WP:NPOV). Also, the statement in question of B. H. is not really controversial. Maybe we can agree that you try to put it in a different way, based on a different source. Otherwise I would put a question regarding the reliability of "meforum" and add something about it's bias - it is controverial itself.--Severino (talk) 13:53, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
